ACI Jet has completed the three–month remodelling of its FBO facility at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. The facility was previously operated by Signature Flight Support prior to its departure in April.

“ACI Jet identified a real, tangible opportunity for growth in our fuel sales and FBO services division. With general aviation traffic on the rise, and business aviation specifically building strong roots in the region, we decided to bring our customer-focused approach to and private aviation to travellers in a whole new market.”

Andrew Robillard, vice president of FBOs at ACI Jet, said: “ACI Jet identified a real, tangible opportunity for growth in our fuel sales and FBO services division. With general aviation traffic on the rise, and business aviation specifically building strong roots in the region, we decided to bring our customer-focused approach to and private aviation to travellers in a whole new market. The response has been well received by the community as a whole, and we’re excited to see how our new executive terminal benefits both the community and our clients even further.”

William Borgsmiller, CEO at ACI Jet, added: “We’ve brought on nearly 60 additional expertly-trained professionals in customer service, line service, administration and maintenance to serve clients at the new facility. Our goal through this FBO acquisition and the subsequent remodelling project is to provide a second-to-none experience for travellers, flight crews, and aircraft owners, both living in and travelling to the region.”

The remodelled facility offers all the normal services you would expect from any FBO, on-site concierge, local transportation arrangements. It can service aircraft both small and large, from a Cessna 152 through to a Boeing Business Jet.
